Strictly speaking, (assuming I understand you correctly) you can't do this. As
you 'squish' the primitive, the angle will change slightly, but it's kinda like
the tangent angle is the last to change - by the time you switch it
significantly away from 90 degrees, you're working with a disc instead of a
sphere.
Why do you ask?
